Description

Describe the problem

It's impossible to switch between tabs on MacOS using the keyboard shortcuts. This happens because the relative keybindings (defined on Theia here) overlap with the ones used by the OS to switch between applications.

To reproduce

  1. Open a workspace with multiple files
  2. Ensure you have multiple tabs open
  3. try to use the shortcuts ctrlcmd+tab, ctrlcmd+alt+d, ctrlcmd+shift+tab, ctrlcmd+alt+a (as defined here)
  4. 🐛 Nothing happens

Expected behavior

  1. Open a workspace with multiple files
  2. Ensure you have multiple tabs open
  3. try to use the shortcuts ctrlcmd+tab, ctrlcmd+alt+d, ctrlcmd+shift+tab, ctrlcmd+alt+a
  4. 😄 Happily switch between tabs without touching your mouse, like a pro

Arduino IDE version

2.0.1

Operating system

macOS

Operating system version

12.3.1 (21E258)

Additional context

Changing these keybindings from ctrlcmd+... to ctrl+... should do the trick.
